Any British Columbia resident who has ever complained about losing a precious hour of sleep thanks to daylight saving time now has a chance to gripe to the provincial government.
The province is asking people to share their views on how time should be observed in sa国际传媒 and written submissions.
Premier John Horgan says that as Washington, Oregon and California move toward permanent daylight saving time, it鈥檚 a good time to think about what will work best for sa国际传媒
Most areas of sa国际传媒 鈥渟pring forward鈥� into daylight time during summer months and 鈥渇all back鈥� to standard time in the winter.
Saskatchewan does not observe daylight saving time and remains on standard time year-round.
The online survey will be available until July 19 and the website has information on the history of time observance in sa国际传媒 and the impact of various options, such as changes to the timings of sunrise and sunset.
鈥淚 know many people will have strong preferences on this complex question, and this is an opportunity to express them and help government decide our next steps,鈥� Horgan said in a statement.
鈥淎s we monitor what鈥檚 happening in other jurisdictions, I look forward to input from British Columbians on how to set our clocks throughout the year.鈥�
Organizations and individuals are also invited to provide written submissions about time observance, which affects many key sa国际传媒 industries including agriculture and transportation.
